1st time building a gaming rig.

[KnightyNight]

Hello everyone, 

I am planning on building my own rig and done some research of this and that. But I am not that confident so I am reaching out to you people of the PC Master Race. 

 

Here are the specs that I personally choose...

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler: I will be using the cooler stock Wraith Spire 
Mobo: MSI - X470 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX AM4
RAM: G.Skill- Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200Mhz Memory
SSD: Samsung - 860 Evo 250 GB
HDD: Western Digital- BLACK SERIES 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM 
Video Card: MSI- GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB GAMING X
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC- 06 
PSU: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular
OS: Windows 10 Home 
Fans: Corsair SP120 3-Pack 

 

Monitor: I'll be using LG-24MP59G-P 23.8" 1920x1080 with 75Hz

 

Questions:
1. Will there be any issues like bottlenecking?
2.Does the PSU 650W be enough or do I need higher just for safety purposes.
3. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance and Happy gaming..
PS. The country that I live in have limited parts to choose.

1.) There's always a bottleneck, but in this case you won't have to worry about it.

2.) 650W is way more than enough, at most system will draw ~300W

3.) Instead of a 1tb WD Black drive, get a higher capacity Blue one.

4.) 1080ti is overkill for 1080p. Get a higher resolution monitor.

your gpu is way OP for your monitor

[LukeSavenije]

1. Nope

2. You could even get away with 450 if you want to

3. Most monitors can overclock. You could get a 60 hertz and overclock it to 75

 

And if that ram is 3000+ mhz, it's a solid build

Curious. Why not 2700X?

It's gonna be just fine.

I would personally get a bigger HDD and windows can be had on ebay for 10$.

Those extra fans are IMO completely useless. My first build was also one that included many fans but it was just loud and didn't bring much. 2 Fans (1 in front, 1 in the back) is just fine (should come with the case). If you want to buy extra fans, buy quality noctua or be quiet fans not those cheaply made corsair ones.

 

Also, 144hz 1080p monitors can be had for just 200$ nowadays so i'd suggest you buy one of those.

The motherboard is also overkill, buy a B450 instead.

• 650w will be plenty
• I know jackshit about Ryzen, can't really help you there (sorry)
• consider allocating a bit more of your budget towards an SSD
  • my guess is, that the SSD you currently have will be for your OS
  • SSDs for general file stuff will improve the feel and 'snappyness' of your entire PC

Don't create multiple threads please.

You don't get a 4k ready computer to play at a display setting from 10 years ago.

Why pay more when the 2700 can match the 2700X being cheaper?

Higher capacity blue drives are just 5400rpm. The only 7200rpm drive is the 1TB EZEX. NOT recommended for game storage.

1. At 1080p, yes. The 2700 can't max a 1080Ti at that resolution. Only the i7-8700K and i9-9900K can. I'd personally go for the 2600 or 2600X with a better cooler. For gaming, that makes more sense. Going for a higher resolution monitor is also a good idea.

 

2. More than plenty, yes.

From where I live Ryzen 2700x is not available. yet

[TH3R34P3R]

DONT BASH HIS 1080p CHOICE WITH A 1080TI! 

 

he just needs higher refresh rates...

Which the CPU can't handle. The Ryzens aren't high refresh monsters at this low of a resolution. Been known since they came out last year.

yeah he needs intel for that, you are right.

monitor overclocking can lead to fuzzy images and isnt always able to hit 75. i have one that maxes out at 71 and the image is so bad that things look like they are moving cause its so fuzzy. and that was over DP1.4

Looks great.... the 1080ti might be a bit much and certainly with a 1080p monitor but other then that.....
I certainly won't go less on the Watt sector.... Its better to have a PSU thats under max 50% load then a psu that's on 80% load all the time. 
and if your going into OC modes or planning on goin 4k you might even want to consider getting one with more capacity just to stay on the safe side. its not that the pc uses more electricity so something to consider!

Have fun building

What if I get a 1920x1080 monitor with 144Hz like ZOWIE XL2411P?

Thanks.
